    Yes... It's fast... Somehow though, i can't use all this speed with modern day traffic... so, it's absolutely useless..
    As you can imagine, many of us are exceptionally skeptical of you owning this car.

    also, you own a Zonda F, one of 25...and you tunned it with two turbos. right.
    I'm sure Horacio will still accept your car for services and other stuff...
    I would have like to hear his silly explanations, why did you banned him?!

    Me (mom's) Stilo 1.9jtd 115 hp 0-62 about 11.5 sec, top speed 195 kmh and me again (dad's) Croma 1.9 mjtd 150 hp, 0-62 about 8.7 sec IIRC and top speed 210 kmh.
    the stilo is funny to drive just because is still an "old-school" car beside being not so lightweight

    Yeah, I mean running on to someone on the internet with a Zonda is rare enough. Specify the model, rarer. A one off custom Zonda F with twin turbos and 1200 hp?

    You gotta ask your self what is more likely, they have the car, or they are lying.

    When someone says they have a Corvette, ok, I can believe that, an M3, sure. A Ferrari, that's a stretch - a TT Zonda?! Doubtful.

    As for who who banned him, I dunno for sure, but I have a pretty good idea.

    Doesn't matter. It was only a one day ban. He's back now.

    2002 Acura RSX (Honda integra for the euros)

    160 hp stock
    Exhaust is completely redone from the headers back, eliminating the cat. My guess is maybe another 10 horse from that?

    Absolutely no idea about 0 - 60mph, but it's no turtle.

    Redline absolutely screams, which is great fun.

    I've had it at 210 km/h, which is quite fast in my books, but not the right exhilaration department that this car was meant to deliver in. The most fun I have in it is throwing it into corners and accelerating out of sweepers.

    It's only downside, It doesn't have a type-S badge on the trunk.

    i would have worried about the extra suspension and engine work before the badge


    1978 Porsche 911SC
    power: 250hp stock + whatever the exhasut adds = 260hp/190kw (270 if you believe the exhaust manufacturer's claim )
    no idea how much torque
    wieght: 1210kg
    0-60 ~5 seconds

    1964 Triumph spitfire
    power: 130 RWHP/100RWKW (roughly 200hp/150kw at the fly), no idea on torque
    wieght: 720kg when stock - not sure how much the engine adds, guess it's at 750 or so now
    0-60 - probably around 5.5-6 seconds thanks to gearing

    Not lucky...I think youll find the word is broke

    I had 20k saved up I could of bought cars (lovely s14 180sx i had lined up plus I could of restored my namesake which I sadly sold for $700 now worth and easy 3k in todays market!) but I though a house was a better first step.......but then a spate of unemployment and then schooling and a buying a liberty after my S12 Gazelle was written off by a toyota and a caravan really ate a hole in the whole thing

    Now im a student yet again.....I seem to gear my life around being broke.......

    haha . That reminds me, my car is lowered with some type of spring (guy before me had that done). It's no quality suspension job or anything, but the car sticks like shit to a blanket. Especially with the right rubber.
